Association – Expanding the Kingdom
This week is the fourth of four articles on the mission we share as an association which is: to be a network of churches who partner together for the gospel to reach the northland and the nations. We accomplish this by pursuing four objectives: Equipping Leaders, Empowering Churches, Engaging Partnerships and fourth – Expanding the Kingdom. One of the primary purposes of the CPBA is to work with local churches and denominational partners to plant new churches in our growing community. We do so by strategizing where and how we can effectively plant churches and then supporting the plants that are launched. As our two counties continue to grow in population it is imperative that we be intentional in our efforts to reach those God’s brings into our sphere of influence. This past year we saw two church plants launch in the midst of a pandemic and this year we will see even more. I am so thankful for the opportunity to partner with what God is doing in our area and the ability to do so as an association of churches. Thank you for your prayers and support as we work side by side in advancing the gospel together in Clay and Platte counties. – Dr. Gary Mathes
